I remember being a child and always wishing time would speed up. I always wanted the next thing, to be able to ride my bike further than 4 houses, to be a teenager, to go to High School or to drive. Now in what seems like the blink of an eye a year has passed. One year ago I was preparing for major surgery and my daughters were preparing for Kindergarten and 3rd grade. Today was their last day of school and with it comes one proud mommy!


Madison’s report card from Kindergarten is based on the Beginning, Developing and Secure scale. Each report had shown improvement and she ended the year with all
Secure’s..so in my eyes straight A’s. More importantly she is reading well, telling time and can count money with the best of them. Heading into the summer before first grade I can’t ask for any better!

Megan finished the year with straight A’s all the way through with Principle’s list 4 straight quarters. The kid is scary smart and loves to learn. I honestly do not know where it comes from but I love to see it!
As things in my life now fly by, I see my girls anticipating the next thing. Megan can’t wait until middle school and Madison is already planning the rock concert her band will play some day even though she has only been taking guitar lessons for 5 months. I try to tell them to enjoy life but I guess I never listened. All I want if for my girls to stay babies.


I know I have said it a thousand times throughout my writings but I am so proud of my girls. I have watched confidence grow where insecurity used to be, assertiveness in place of timidness and a will to succeed that with the proper encouragement from frank and I will carry them trough life. Great school year girls! I love you both!
